Thank you so much 🥹

The Name Ziya - Reactor A girl reckons with what she must lose--and who she has become--in order to be accepted at the empire's most prestigious university.

On the surface, a dark academia story with a vicious bite and wistful reminiscence. Beneath the surface, a raw aching memory for anyone who had once sacrificed a part of themselves to survive and thrive on hostile soil.

Still looking for a path to enlightenment? Author @champwongs.bsky.social considers life's greatest mysteries with a bit of background for his recent Reactor story "Where the Hell is Nirvana?"

Engaged with and increased understanding of karma and nirvana +100

Autogas Ferryman - Nightmare Magazine Krungthep means “The City of Gods.” A much more charming name than the bawdy Bangkok that foreigners joke about. But to Somsak, it is the city of ghosts. He drives his taxi slowly along through the gl...

This @champwongs.bsky.social story is really *really* good.

sharing this again in case you missed it the first time. just a great story, with so many feelings.

The giggling got my neighbour's attention. The flustered grimace got his concern 😵

"The greatest blessing of human psychology is eroticization."

Thought this was a quip, not a profound insight on toxicity, extreme conditions, and eldritch gravity-play. Wild, funny(?), hot(?), and horrifying.

Please read this story by @p-h-lee.bsky.social. Maybe not on the plane like I did.

All credit goes to my CW2024 cohort. This is my week 6 story and our brains have undergone enough stewing together that I've been inspired by all the elements of everyone's work. This is the most irreverent, yet most faithfully Buddhist story I've ever written. I couldn't have done it without y'all.

The Good Place X The Wolf of Wall Street set in the Thai-Buddhist heaven. I hope you enjoy this absurd, divine comedy!
